MUMBAI: The rupee gained 4 paise to 66.67 against the dollar in early trade on Friday at the Forex market on increased selling of the US currency by exporters and banks amidst higher opening in the domestic equity market.

The Indian markets open mildly lower on Tuesday with the BSE Sensex down 38 points and the broader Nifty slipping just below 8,800 despite gains in the other Asian markets. Losses were led by auto and infra sectors which were down between 0.4 per cent and 0.5 per cent.
